I see Russia in the early light
with its onion tops veiled
in its ice milk mornings.
I see baby flowers bursting forth from your laughter
and I’m engulfed, enraged,
Overcome with a honeyed envy.
You smile and the czar collapses
You smile and the poet rejoices
Time clutches at you, stickier than do I
we both want to tie you down to this europe
but that's of no use.
"Look it's colorless" you say.
I look but,
I cannot see through those brilliant eyes
downcast but defensive
I cannot relate to your baffling mind
but I have every incentive.
You say it is for the doves
for the good of the movies,
I avoid the word love.
“Consider the benefits” you say.
I consider but,
libertarian municipialism
just doesn’t do anything for me.
Stroke your chin with your ivory fingers
and let your clothes down from that wirehanger body
quick look- updown stop at the toes
Clear smells linger under my nose.
Oh how the wind blows all through my head
while I listen to all the words that you've not yet said.
Soon the chickens will run through the courtyard,
and it’s a pity that
such musings of the mind
cannot be expressed with such dismal tools.
“What the fuck?” you say with the a most confused expression
“Since when did you start talking beautiful?”
I try to talk but,
tangerine trees burst forth and I’m rendered speechless
And then you smile
And then I say
"Oh who needs god oh who wants love"
And the snow drifts down all the while.

Dog PlanetEight Paintings OR Phosphorescence
Das Recht-
Here we are beating a horse,
Raskolnikov cries!
do not imagine our innocence
to be filed away.
You've seen it, seen it
the manuscripts left behind
undress, shoot bullets through your breast
peering into a forest,
here is a white sky.
*
Still-
A nosferatu Ophelia floats by us
black swans drift in black water
she is bloating by, glowing by
spindly tree never hides
our glowing hides
*
Those who are here again-
Do you see the cubed dog?
The thunder within?
Come join!
We are burning shit!
We are cooking meat!
A yellow egg in nest house
the dog faced owner peers
into the pyre of white smoke
fire reflecting
neon paranoia.
*
Dog Planet-
Police state fun
thermal wave scene
in the darkness
only the heat rises
dogs and bayonets
like statues of safety
in masks and in guns.
*
Pink Flag-
Dogs you worry that rag
beasts in rear hoof
kick dent chest
you men in cloth
your teeth are showing
in a blue strip mall
*
Fun de Siècle-
Let's meet at the gas station
lit up like a cloud
an orgy of such solitude
neo-zombification baby
in the cities and now
let's lay like the dead
and roll
and play
and love that structure
of light we've made.
Don't forget guy you
are still alone
underneath
all that neon glow.
*
Punktum-
Something explosive
a concert? Or camp?
Of police or brutes
with the need to eat,
to consume
graffiti piling high
on turpentine fumes.
Rain sparkling capirote
Klan or Nazarenos
This crowd is so hungry
we'll swallow all your symbols.
*
Oriente-
Jesters schlumped down
in Picassan repose
ping pong ball weariness
behind those closed doors
Blackbird in hand
one foot with no shoe
our masks are still on
our masks are all plastered
with phantasmagoric glue.
Onward Pillows!
Pillows
are harmful if swallowed.
A Thoughtful Wino
She sits on many park benches
Looks at the people around her
And wonders aloud
“Are you my murderer?”
